Authors: Zouganeli, Maroulio
Abstract: In Greece, the interest in Agritourism started relatively late in 1983, when EOT established an inter-service body for the study of this form of tourism and defined the institutional framework of its development. By definition, urban space is rejected for the development of programs in the form of agritourism as opposed to the implementation of mass tourism programs for which urban space is suitable. The ease of travel has turned out to have both good and bad consequences, in the midst of a global pandemic. The virus was aggravated by the undetected spread caused by air travelers who brought the virus outside of China. Because of the high risks of worldwide travelling, nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as lockdowns, travel restrictions, border closures, quarantines, and cancellations of global events have been applied This thesis studies the context of agritourism of Greece in the difficult times of COVID-19. The purpose of this thesis is to depict the consequences of the pandemic of COVID-19 in the domain of agritourism, especially in a country like Greece, a country that has suffered from major economic problems.

Authors: Tzovanis, Emmanouil Angelos
Abstract: Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, there have been numerous consequences on the consumption of organic food products worldwide. Previous research has shown that the COVID-19 pandemic has stimulated interest for organic food on a worldwide level, due to a re-orientation of consumer attitudes towards healthier alternatives, increased environmental awareness, sensitivity for animal welfare and more. In addition, the Ukrainian-Russian war has caused major food shortages, especially in European countries importing food raw materials from Ukraine. For this dissertation, primary quantitative research has been conducted, along with descriptive statistics analysis to assess the impact of both events in the Northern Greece market. The research sample was divided into three (3) groups, according to the primary customer motive of organic food consumption. Then, possible connections between these and the buying factors of "Environment", "Personal Health", "Taste" and "Moral Values" was explored. The findings indicate the existence of numerous links between organic food consumption and demographic characteristics, such as educational level and the annual income.
